A neuro diagnosis changes everything in an instant

Help someone navigate their neuro journey
Every day across Queensland, people are navigating life with a neurological condition—often without a map.
Neurological conditions such as dementia, MS, Parkinson’s and stroke can take someone's life off course, stealing memory, mobility and independence.
More than 1.3 million Queenslanders are living with a neurological condition, and just 6% of these people receive vital support.

Meet Vicki
Vicki knows first-hand what it feels like to try and connect to the right care for someone you love.
Her partner of 41 years suffered a catastrophic stroke six years ago. Vicki found herself feeling fearful and overwhelmed.
“We left hospital, but without direction. No answers about how we were supposed to cope. No support. No idea about what life could look for us now. We were lost.”
Vicki vowed that no family should ever face this type of loss alone.
